Since launching our Cycling for Everyone - Billion for Bikes campaign, we have already made progress.

Sign the Billion for Bikes Petition

Following our submissions, the Climate Leadership Team has included the possibility of using Carbon Tax funding for cycling and walking in their recommendations and the Provincial Finance Committee has recommended investment to expand cycling.

BC Opposition Leader John Horgan says he'd follow the Alberta government new carbon tax plan, which earmarks much of the estimated $3 billion in new revenue in that province for energy-efficiency investments like expanded public transit. While the Alberta plan specifically includes cycling and walking, so far Horgan has not stated publicly that they support using Carbon Tax revenue for cycling. We are following up with him to help ensure BC follows Alberta's lead.

Help us keep the momentum building!

So far, we have around 1800 signatures. We are now striving towards gaining 2500 signatures in January, when the Climate Leadership Action Plan public input process will open.

Please help show our political leaders that there is strong support for cycling in BC:
